The α(1-3)glucan synthase Ags1 is essential for both secondary septum
formation and the primary septum structural strength needed to counter cell
turgor pressure during cell separation.
β(1,3)glucan is critical for contractile ring positioning and for coupling septum synthesis to constriction of the contractile ring and plasma membrane extension during cytokinesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
